The Seahawks, who also boast top-end cornerbacks in Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner, weren’t fooled by the 49ers in December. In a 42-13 loss in Seattle, Kaepernick had the lowest completion percentage (52. and passer rating (72.0) of his 11-start career.

Today, the tight-lipped quarterback offered one of his more expansive responses when asked about that defeat in his sixth career start. Could his struggles in Seattle be attributed to the strength of the Seahawks’ defense?

“We performed bad as a team,” Kaepernick said. We played bad that game. We’re going up there to try to prove that’s not who we are.”

Hate to say it but I agree with him. They did play bad as a team that day, the whole team played like poo, and i have no doubt they haven't forgot why. I see this game going more like the game in seattle 2 years ago except we win this time because we have Wilson now and not T-jack...

He can say whatever makes him feel better. I will never forget that look on his face when he realized he had never seen anything like what he was facing in that last game. It was like looking at a child caught in the middle of a war zone. The fear was real. Sunday night will give him PTSD.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Hawks blow out the ninnies again, in fact I think it's probable. They have no answer for the noise, the kraepper folded like a house of cards in December, he said today that the noise wasn't a factor, if he honestly believes it, the ninnies are SCREWED before the game even starts!

Boldin is neither fast or elusive. I could see Chancellor knocking him into next week.

Why Chancellor? Browner has had success against Bolden, so why not focus on a proven matchup rather than becoming obsessed with low-percentage wow factor? If Brandon's good to go for this game, I'll heave a sigh of relief because he's one of a very few if not the only CB that has physically dominated Boldin.
